Things had quieted down somewhat on the Khabib Nurmagomedov – Conor McGregor rivalry front, but tensions are ratcheting up once again, big time.

Recently McGregor fired off more verbal jabs on Twitter, which prompted the UFC’s lightweight champ to remind the star of his submission win over him. Nurmagomedov also questioned whether the supposedly retired fighter was starting a career on Twitter.

Well, according to a report from MMA Junkie, more recently McGregor tweeted photos of Nurmagomedov’s wife on their wedding day. In addition, the Irish fighter reportedly said:

“Don’t be scared of the rematch you little scurrying rat. You will do what you are told like you always do.

“Your wife is a towel mate”

Not long after, McGregor, or someone from his camp must have taken the inflammatory and inappropriate tweet down. But, news of it clearly got back to Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, as he tweeted this (warning: explicit language):

Talking shit, this guy is insulting someone’s wife and making fun of her religion and belief. He doesn’t realize he’s insulting 1.5 billon Muslims. Religion and family is a no no. You’re fucked Connor, let’s see what the media is going to say now. He’s a rapist, and a bitch.

Nurmagomedov has argued more than once that McGregor doesn’t deserve an immediate rematch, and you really have to wonder with all this heated rhetoric, whether the UFC would really want to go that route right now.

Recently it was reported that Irish police are investigating a sexual assault allegation that’s been brought against McGregor. The star has not been charged.
